Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation. Garden offices used every day in Staines need cooling in summer and efficient heat in winter.

Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
A survey in Staines usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. Surveys in Staines cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
